Narrative:
Climbing through 29000 ft the 'doors' light on the master warning panel came on and no light illuminated on the so's panel. The flight duties were turned over to the first officer and I proceeded to work with the so on the abnormal checklist. The abnormal checklist for a door warning light and no other lights on calls for a descent to 10000 ft and reducing cabin differential pressure to a min. Also a precautionary landing must be made. At this point clearance was requested for a descent and return to denver. After a descent was underway, I made an announcement informing the flight attendants and passengers we were returning to denver. I then instructed the flight service manager to check all cabin doors. The control handle on door '1R' clicked when pushed down and the door light on the master warning panel went out. The pressurization behaved normal at all times. I decided to continue the flight to cleveland. Upon landing the write up was entered in the maintenance logbook. Supplemental information from acn 217643. I notified denver operations that we were going to cleveland. I also notified denver maintenance of how the door warning light problem had been corrected, they approved of our actions and said they would tell iah maintenance what had happened and that the captain had decided to go to cleveland.
